Remember my first encounter with an F-104 during REFORGER as it flew past our position at low level.  A very memorable experience.

Been there, done that.
I saw that the Finnish Army is looking for an NCO to train conscripts on mortars. I think I'm a little old for the job.

There must be at least five grunts and the safety officer in the photo but some are a bit out of sight.
